Hi, I'm Kate! A former couch potato-turned-long-distance runner and hiker, I grew up "hating" all things exercise. In 2011 I accidentally fell in love with hiking and then eventually running the following year. Since 2012 I've ran 9000 miles, hiked 11 of Colorado's famous "14ers", completed over 15 full marathons and several ultra-marathons including a 100K. I'm not fast, but I stick with it and get it done! If you're new to exercise and fitness, I hope to encourage you to stick with it - it just may change your life!
